You've got part P then.

No just lots and lots of common sense and experience through years of work in this industry, and I gave up counting how many times Ive followed up after sparkies even those with a part P who leave leaking immersions (pretty lethal) and dont know how to wire up a s or y plan . Any more smart arse comments

Fit a new one, but cable will have to be current regs which is 10mm twin and earth. Triton Enrich is on sale at Screwfix for only £50.

Prove it? Are you sure, I mean really sure?

 

[Guest123]

10mm. Why?

To take the load without overheating the cable. All showers of 8.5kw and above must be 10mm twin and earth minimum. If the cable run is a long one it should be increased to 12mm.

Yep, cos I rareley have to ask questions on this form just answer them for the likes of you (on my 3rd single malt, so feeling warm inside) :chillpill:

Also have to take in how the cable is ran, is it ran in a void is the void insulated etc etc etc. That's why I use a sparky, I'll concentrate on the stuff I'm good at and the same for him.

@lpg plg & htg @dancinplumba and anyone else wanting to get it on with each other,

Ladies, please kiss and make up and make my night a nice quiet and easy one please.:yesnod:

It could be a power shower.

All I am saying to you is check you are insured to undertake electrical work however small you think it may be. By the way I have got a life.

That's why I have 2 sparks on my installs. They not only know what they're doing, they hand the customer a electrical works safety certificate upon completion.

Think you need to re-read and leave the malt for a while.

I have 2 I use as well, both top lads and know their stuff inside out. One less worry for me.

Right......kisssy, kissy guys, or Judge Dredd's coming out and if he has to leave his cans of Magners to dish out nasties, then he'll not be too chuffed.

Open forums and swallying just don't mix. You have been warned.

OK as its System I will retire gracefully

Lets get things into perspective here guys - shower manufacturers replace electric showers all the time, no part P and no proving of the circuit. Its like swapping a toaster.
